ERNEST S. J'AROS, OF COLULIBUS, OHIO, ASSIGNOR TO THE UNITED DEMONSTBAIIING MACHINE COMPANY,

ADVERTISING msvrcn.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, ERNEST S. Janos, a

citizen of the United States, residing at C0- 'symbolicalindication of the wearing quality of a stocking, being particularly directed to those points or, parts of the stocking be subject to the greatest which are known to amount of wear, these parts being generally conceded tobe the heel and the toe of the stocking.

My invention, therefore, contemplates thepair of stockings upon artificial limbs and thesubjection of the heel of one stocking and the toe of the other to blows of a hammer or sledge element which may be alternate or not, as desired. This hammering action may operate with one orwith a pair-of stockings and maybe effected by various constructions of sledge ele. ments. In conjunction with this hammering action and to complete the symbolism, I desirably utilize a registeringdevice for the number of blows which any stocking or pair of stockings hasv been able to withstand. The preferred manner of attaining these results is shown in the accompanying drawings, in which similar characters of reference designate corresponding parts, and in which I Figure 1- 's a front elevation of the addevice in its preferred form, Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section of the operating mechanism for the, advertising device, ig. 3 is a transverse section of such operating mechanism, Fig. 4 is a detail view. of an adjustable link which isutilized to render the registering device suitable or applicable to the operating mechanism independentof the Specification of Letters Patent.

cased in stockings. are desirablyspaced apart and are limited in their inward movement toward each other by pins Band 7, being permitted an outward movement under force of a blow or blows produced by aswinging sledge 8 having a head 9 and pivotallymounted by being secured to a shaft 10 at an upper central point on the casing. The artificial limbs 2 and 3' are given this capability of outward movement so that the blows received by their heel and toe are converted into a rubbing action somewhat similar in its nature to the rubbing action ordinarily received by a stocking when being actually worn, which rubbing action eventually wears a hole in the heel or toe of the stocking.

The shaft 10 carries a collar 11 which limits the inward movement of the handle'S of the sledge, such handle 8 being held against outward movement by the mounting on the extremity of the'shaft 'of an indicating arrow 12 secured at its forward end to the casing-1 by a bolt 13. The purpose of this arrow will be hereinafter described. Carried by the collar and desirably formed therewith is a boss 14 which in; sures oscillation of the handlev 8 with the shaft 10. The shaft 10 has a crankarm 15 secured thereto by a'set screw '16 and con-.

nected to the extremity of this crank arm.

18 meshes with and is driven by a gear 20 mounted upon a shaft 21 journaled in a U-shaped bracket 22, such shaft being precluded from endwise movement in any preferred manner and carrying a worm wheel 23. This worm wheel 23 is under the control of and driven by a worm shaft 24 forming apart of the armature shaft 25 of a motor 26, driven by any suitable source of current supply and variableas to speed under the control of the rheost-at 27 which may be of any desired form. It will be understood that the gear wheel 18 is supported in any preferred vmanner as by the bracket bearing 28- I I The operation of my invention as thus far described is as follows: Rotation ofthe motor drives the shaft 21 and the intermeshing' relation of the gears 20 and 18 causes slow rotation of the gear wheel 18. This rotatory movement 1s transformed by the pitman 17 and crank arm 15 into an oscillatory Patented Feb. 11,1913.

Application filed February 10, 1912. Serial No. 676,863.

These artificial limbs of the s edge element. from its function of preventing outward movement of the sledge handle, serves to inmovement of-the shaft 10, which results inswinging the sledge element backward and forward. The relation of these parts is such that the movement of the sledge element'is comparatively slow while at either end of. its path of movement and comparatively accelerated in its proirimate' approach to a scribed.

Pivotally depending from the crank arm is a link 29 and connected to this link 29 is a lever arm 30 having a telescoping portion 31 which fits between cars 32 upon the body portion of the member30 and which has a slot and screw connection therewith as at 33. This telescoping portion 31 is rigidly connected to a collar 34; and this collar 34? is desirably secured to the. main shaft 35 of a register 36 of any preferred form. This I. register 36 is mounted preferabl upon the outer face of tliefcasing 1 and t e lever 30 with its telescoping portion 31 extends through a slot 37 in the face of the casing.

In operation of the registering device, it will be seen that the oscillation of the crank arm 15 alternately lifts and lowers the link element 29 and thereby operates. the lever 30 to re "ster each complete ,reciprocation The arrow, aside dicate to-the observer the register and to induce him toobserve the number of reciprocations. The device may'be equipped with variousforms of re 'sters and the' adjustable lever 30 is pecullarly eflicaclous in suitmg particular type of register used.

It will be seen that I have rovided a sim-; ple advertising device whic operation and symbolically impresses the mind of the observer with the fact that the 1. An advertising device comprising anartificial clothed member, and means for imthe intermediate leverage action to the,
